Info on Pride

My question is, and maybe this is someplace else on the forum, but I was unable to find it, so if it is there I apologize.
Is Pride part of CR England or just owned by one of the England family and one has nothing to do with the other.

I am getting ready to retire from the Military and have been talking to a few "recruiters" or "HRO" personnel, with Pride and a few other companies in the area (No Knight, and no C.R.). I am asking the recruiter, the normal questions about the company, average miles, what type of equipment...but I was wondering is this just a cover to get people to apply because of the reputation that C.R. has?

I have talked to James H. Clark, and even talked to a representative from Crete, I probably won't go back to Crete, but they sound like they have made allot of changes since I worked for them a few years back.
I guess we will see.

 

I also have not ruled out the idea of going back to Andrus, they treated me pretty good. And now that I won't HAVE to be home for Drill weekend, I can spend some time out on the road where a driver belongs. So far the real selling points for me is the rider policy of Clark, Crete and even Pride, so far Pride has the less strict policy.

 

Sorry you had such a bad experience with Andrus, when did you work for them? I worked for them in 2011 and they treated me very well, my pay was always on time, I got home when I needed and wanted even times it was not really necessary, I never had to wait more than a half hour or so for a pre plan, The times I did stop in Saint George to fuel, Jimmy made it a point to come out and ask how everything was and if there was anything he could do personally to make things better, if anyone made a suggestion, he always followed up, If my truck needed service, it was done in a timely manner to get me back rolling. Once again sorry you had such a bad experience with them. The only thing that will keep me from going back there is the rider policy, riders do have to be 16, and my son is 10.

Granted, the one thing I would have like to see different that did not change while I was there, direct deposit, they only pay direct deposit to Wells Fargo, check to home, or put it on your card, and I THINK they charged to put it on your card, and Jimmy said he would work on that, I left a couple of weeks after I made that suggestion.

 

scythe, may I ask who do you drive/work for? I see you are from SLC and I was wondering if you are happy with your job?
Thanks in advance
